whisky War at Al,ianc,. @.

CLEVELAND. Aug. 9.-There is a prob ibition
war at Alliance, o. This of the big
towns Of the State to vote for local option under
the Dow law. The saloons were voted out sew
eral months ago, and the energy of the entire
police force has since been inadequate to the
forcement OF the ordinance. Numerous heavy
fines and jail sentences have been imposed upon
the saloonists, but they continued to violate the
ordinance. Last week temperance dem on stra-
tion was held, and the liquor dealers attempted
to counteract it's effect by giving away beer and
whisky in the streets to all who asked for it.
Several minors were among those who drank,
and to-day six of the saloon keepers who gave
away the liquor were arrested. Upon being re-
leased four of them went to the Fort Wayne
depot. and, mistaking stranger whom they
saw there for of the detectives who assisted
in the prosecution, they set upon him and beat
him numerically. They were all arrested.

CONFEDERATE MONEY.
An Important Case Now Under Consideration
By United States Judge Jackson.

PARKERsBURG, W. Va, Aug 9-An i'm
portant case, involving the validity and legality
of the payment of confederate money on notes
An settlement for large and valuable tract of
land, is being heard before United States Judge
ther of the plaintiff, lived in jefferson county.
He sold farm to gentleman named Castle
man for $40, 600, of which $40, 900 was paid in
cash, the balance to be paid in equal annual in
stallments, the last payment falling due in 1864.
Shortly after the sale Opie moved to Staunton,
Va, ana then died. His wife and q son, DIR.
Thomas Opie. were made executors under the
provisions of the will After the war
broke out il Is alleged that Castle
man secured large amount Of con-
federate money. and going through the
lines paid off the notes Of So 900 each due in
1861 and 1862 with this money, which had greatly
deprecated in value. Before the remaining
notes fell due, it Is alleged, Mrs. Opie notified
Castleman that she would not accept confeder-
of the Virginia banks. Castleman then, it is
said, secured enough Virginia money, which was
also greatly deprecated, and paid the remainder
of the notes. Hiram i. Opie. jr., now claims
interest in the land for the amount of the debt
paid in Virginia and confederate money, claim
ing that this money was illegal and worthless,
and that the executrix and executor committed
waste, when, by the terms of the contract. the
debt was TO be paid in good and lawful money Of
6he United States. The defendants insist that
the payment was legal under the circumstances.
Judge Jackson has taken the matter under ad-
visement The attorneys of the States of Vir-
RiEia and West Virginia look upon the settle
nent of the case Of great Importance, involv-
valuable tracts of land and other property in
different sections of the South.

Washington Special.
The editor of the National Republican has ad-

in detail the arguments used in disputing the
authority of the Secretary of the Treasury to
issue his recent offer to buy bonds. The follow
ing is the letter:
To the President:
1.-THE act under which the Secretary of the
Treasury proposes to bry bonds passed in
1869, and declared its first substantive prop

clared in it's title. WAS made to strengthen the

only about so cents the dollar. Two declara-
tions by the government seemed necessary TO
give these obligations an impetus. to-wit: Frat
that they should be paid in coin or it's equiva-

The President Cannot Go Everywhere. and
Somebody Will Be Disappointed.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9-Invitations continue
pouring upon the President. and almost the
entire time OF one Of the clerks at the White
House is occupied in scheduling and recording
them. H has been invited to visit almost every
city in the West and South, including San Fran
cisco. New Orleans and Galveston. 1t would
be almost impossible for the President to accept
them all, even if he devoted the balance of the
the year to that purpose, it will be
seen that some places will have to be slighted.
Among the invitations received to- day was one
from Governor Gray, of Indiana, urging the
President to make stop at Indianapolis on his
way through that State A telegram was also
received from Providence, asking the President
to visit that city on his rumored trip to Marion,
Mass, where Mrs Cleveland is visiting. This
the only of the invitations answered to-
day. Colonel Lamont sent short reply, to the
effect that the President had no intention of
visiting Massachusetts just at present The
President is seriously considering the best use
be can make of the limited time he has
allotted himself for his Western and South
ern trip. and he will take the route
which will enable him to visit briefly the prin-
cipal cities OF the two sections of country.
He has about made up his mind that he will not

tie, if any further south than Atlanta. He
does not desire to be absent from the capital
more than twenty days, but delays and unavoid-
able circumstances may prolong his presence
five or ten days more. He will begin the
preparation of his annual message to Congress
upon his return to Washington, and that and
other important matters which will then claim
his personal attention will prevent his extending

will be prepared within the next two weeks
None of the invitations not already acted upon
will be answered until that is arranged.

Conditional support of a Strike.

FALL RIVER Mass, Aug. 9-The largest
meeting of the Spinners Union for many months
was held tonight to decide whether to support
the striking spinners at the mills of the Ameri-
can Linen and Mechanics Corporations, and
whether to authorize a strike at all the mills
where grievances exist The union voted to
sustain the strike. on condition
that in the settlement of existing troubles
the strikers abide by the decision
of the executive committee on the question of a
general strike ar the mills whore special griev-
ances of hard work and low wages exi st. It was
noticeable that great change in the feeling of
the spinners had taken place during the last
week. Last Tuesday night deputations from a
dozen mills were before the execu-
tive committee. clamoring for permission
to strike Tonight several of these
splnners were willing to try and get along for
while longer, under existing circumstances
without a strike. This change is due to the
fact that in several of these mills changes have
been made in the speed of the machines and the
mules now run slower. thus making the work
OF the spinners easier. It decided to
leave the matter in the hands of the executive
committee. who are authorized to order a strike

Criticised by q Democrat

A Western Democrat is quoted as not being
particularly we'll pleased with the circular OF
Secretary Farchild offering to buy bonds at .

debt to relieve the money market He said "It
will be a hard thing for to explain on the
stump in the West. The President could bettsr

sion of Congress- It would have done his ad-
ninistration less harm. But, judging from the

Wall-street quotations rather closely, and the
day before Mr. Farchild issued bis circular cor
tain stocks advanced two and three points with

Farchild's circular was made public, these stocks
advanced another point: but the circular had
been discounted, and am confident that Secre-
tary Fairchild's order was known in Wall street
